Please do. I have the Spirit Cell pdf already and think its a nice idea but just not for me personally. However, the Ghost in the Machine plans might be well worth my money. AT LebanonCircle

Ok, I received my copy this weekend and after reading it, let me give you my comments:
Inner circle The Sunshine State USA 1208 Posts
First effect is Ghost in the Machine: How to communicate with the dead. LC came with an effective solution to build this machine. Definitely I will make one. With only few components you can build it. It includes detailed information on how to make and operate the effect. You can allow the people to examine the machine and they will never find how it works, oh yes. The routines for this effect are great too. This effect alone makes it worth the purchase of the e-book. The second part is a set of 12 Pseudo Psychokinetic and Telekinesis effects: Effect 1: Psychokinetic with coins, more oriented for British’s coins but can be adapted for currency from other countries. The routine is pretty good. Effect 2: Psychokinetic with a match; a good method used before to light my ghost candle. Effect 3: Shows how to make electric-electronic equipment turn on/off without touching them. It’s a nice way to generate poltergeist activity. It’s so innocent… Effect 4: Learn how to magnetize silverware, easy set up. I’m thinking to combine it with a bending routine. Effect 5: Make an Ouija move as your desire, Nobody is touching the board or planchette; it uses an simple method. Effect 6: Explains a method to make a compass spin and point where you want. Good addition to continue showing your mental powers. Effect 7: It’s a haunted deck effect done in another way. Effect 8: Using same idea from effect 2, you make a bone from a real animal jump back to life; it’s funny and could be used as a gag. Effect 9: It’s a coin vanish effect ala Raven but different. LC shows details to construct the gimmick and its use. Effect 10: Learn how to temporally stop a watch from a spectator. I feel some risk to perform it but you never know when you need it. Effect 11: You will be able to construct and make spin a metal wheel with an easy method. It’s a simple mental test. Effect 12: Explains the construction and use of a "magnetized Pencil". This simple idea can fool anyone if performed correctly. Remember, a routine is included for every effect. I found valuable information in these effects and will implement some of them. The idea of these effects is to perform them in a séance session. The third one is Psychometry: An interesting effect where you will be able to identify the owner of a small personal item previously placed in an envelope. I like this one too, an effective way to peek. It’s more a mentalism routine that can be adapted. It plays for Parlor or Stage with the participation of 12 spectators or more. The fourth is a Guide to Fake Spirit Photography: Shows you how easy it is to trick pictures; you can create poltergeist and séance evidence like orbs, vortices or ectoplasm. With these methods you don't need expensive photo editing software or cameras. The fifth Effect is The Spirit Cell: You will need more technology items to build it but it’s not difficult at all. You can use this effect for an ESP or EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) experiment to attempt to communicate with the dead. LC explains in detail the construction of the effect and different kinds of applications. Particularly I’m interested to build and used it in a non-séance application; It is so good. The routines from this effect need more preparation and requirements, but you don’t need a stooge to perform it. This Effect is a good add for those who like to communicate with the dead using an electric/electronic device like a radio, TV or similar. Conclusion: The document explains in detail with templates, plans and pictures how to build each effect. With basic skills (wood cutting, electric/electronics) you can build them. The document includes a detail supply list. Even though the supplies shown in the document are from UK and European companies, I was able to find similar ones in the USA. Almost forget to tell you how cheap it is to build them too. There is too much information in the compendium that you can create a complete séance show with the information included. There's something for everyone here. I highly recommend it. For those who like LC effects, don’t forget to use the discount vouchers included.

This effect alone makes it worth the purchase of the e-book.
After picking this up, I agree the Ghost in the Machine was worth the price of the e-book. I will make one also. Alton JonWhite

Sounds interesting, but what actually is the Ghost in the Machine effect? Thanks. Loyal user London 284 Posts

The Ghost in the Machine is actually a box used to "communicate with the dead using electromagnetic energy". A seance type effect. Dan built these by hand and sold them along with a couple of routines. It is easy to make and very inexpensive to build with the plans.

You can see pictures of some of the ones he built at the link below. Click on the Ghost in the Machine link located in the top left hand corner. There are 23 pictures in the set. Just click one to enlarge it. You can also see pictures of two of his other discontinued effects on the site. http://www.lebanoncircle.co.uk/Pictures/ Hope this helps, AT

Hi AT. I'd already looked at Dan's website but had not seen the extra archive pics, so thanks for that. Loyal user London 284 Posts

I was really wondering how it plays i.e. does it "communicate" say by buzzing, so one for yes two for no or however... Still, I might just have to trust to the usual high quality of Dan's work and go for it anyway. Thanks Jon. Posted: Nov 9, 2007 03:15 pm

I put an order in for this yesterday. Only about half an hour later I found that it had already manifested in my hotmail account. Fantastic turnaround, cheers Dan! Very workable effects and well detailed, easy to build construction plans that I'm definitely gonna use. There's little to add to Mind_Magic's excellent review above except to say once again that this really is a gem. Loyal user London 284 Posts

I got the pdf and the ghost machine is worth it alone. If you are thinking about buying one it is great.
